It depends if you have access to your web server configuration.	If you 
are able to modify it the simplest way is to create an .htacess file in 
the directory containing your file:

AuthName        "Journal"
AuthType        Digest file:
AuthUserFile    /etc/httpd/journal.passwd
Require         valid-user
Order           allow,deny
Satisfy         any

You can create a password file with:

htdigest -c /etc/httpd/journal.passwd "Journal" username

To add more users omit the -c argument, which will create a new file.

Make sure you use digest authentication not basic (ie don't use 
htpasswd). Basic authentication transmits user names and passwords in 
plain text.
